How to tell if the acid from my stomach has eventually stopped backing up into my esophagus?

I struggled from acid reflux since last Friday and the feeling of something in my throat and chest burning sensation have gone but I still need to continue my medicines. How can I know if acid reflux has ended, in other words stomach acid has stopped coming up into my esophagus?
